Are you practicing as an inferior, submissive Acupuncturist - relying on or accepting another practitioner’s diagnosis in determining how you can treat your patient?
Are you relying on a diagnosis from a chiropractor, a radiologist, a PT, or the a PCP? You may be disempowering yourself and practicing with a lack of confidence. These lead to subpar care for your patients.
Don’t take anything any other practitioner says as gospel, including a diagnosis for YOUR patient’s MSK/pain problem.
Information obtained from another practitioner/healthcare provider may be relevant in some regards, but it should NEVER guide your treatment. YOU are the one who assesses and determines what the patient needs. Not anyone else. When you treat based on a “diagnosis” the patient walks in with, that takes away from your care. YOU determine the best course of care using your tools/skills/knowledge.
Want to get strong assessment and diagnostic skills to more confidently treat your patients? Want to get better results in less time? You’re in the right place on the Locals community!

Check out this clip from the April seminar where Anthony talks about lines of tension. For those who are going to the sports seminar in Mesa Arizona this weekend, you were going to learn all about these and a whole lot more. It’s content ever before taught, and will put you leaves and bounds ahead of everyone else. And the best part is, it’s not just for athletes, it’s important information for all of your MSK patients!
If you've been getting burned out, annoyed, frustrated, it's not your patients, it's you. You're probably not practicing within your passion, or at least what interests you. And you're not setting healthy boundaries.
If you took EXSTORE™, you can join the meeting this Sunday at 1:15pm EST. We're going to talk about this and how your messaging and marketing are not aligned with your passion and purpose. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/smHIUMNvTWySJCYZ75aYzA
Any information on treating tinnitus? I have had some success with reduction but would love any information on more refined techniques.
Hi Doc @Exstoreman,
Any tips for when patient presents with anterior shoulder pain. ache at night with a heavy feeling and pain on random movements especially horizontal adduction. I have two cases now - I start with exstore and correct inhibitions, clean up trophic changes, heaviness improves and the ache at night reduces a little but the impingement pain is still present. Finding it hard to shift. Grazie
